One thing that took me a bit to grasp. On a layer you can have more t=
han=20
one selection.  On my bottom layer of a four layer board I had Vcc,=
=20
+12V, -12V and +3.3V all in different colors or shades.  Layers 1 and=
 3=20
for routing and layer 2 ground without any compromise.  Ian.

      I'm using PCB version 20110918 on Ubuntu (Unity) 13.10 (64 bit)
      with gtk GUI. <br>
      <br>
      I want to design a primitive 2-sided board with only top/bottom
      Layers. <br>
      <br>
      To define the Layers/Groups I open
      "File&gt;Preferences&gt;Layers&gt;groups". Now I want to put
      "top/component side" into group #1 and "bottom/solder side" int=
o
      group #2 by pressing the corresponding buttons. But after press=
ing
      the button, they do not change any color. All the buttons look
      like the same (light grey). <br>
      <br>
      Is this a bug or do I something wrong?<br>
      <br>
      I spent already hours in searching the web, but found no soluti=
on.<br>
